Chiefly, a record of descendants of John Hegarty and Abigail (Abegail) O'Keeffe. John was born in Ireland in 1798 and was married on 11 Feb. 1823 at the age of 25. John was the son of Peter Hegarty and Ellen Maloney. Abigail was born in 1799 and married John at the age of 24, in the village of Tallow, County of Waterford, Ireland in a Catholic church. They had at least 8 children. In 1852, they emigrated to Ontario, Canada. John died in 1877. Abigail died in 1879. Both were buried in a Catholic cemetery in Mitchell, Ontario, Canada. Descendants lived in Canada and elsewhere.
F.H. Varley
Frederick Horsman Varley was unique among the members of the Group of Seven. One of the greatest Canadian portraitists of the twentieth century, he is an intriguing example of an artist who, despite his fame as a portrait painter, remains better known for his landscapes. This is due mainly to his position as one of the founding members of the Group of Seven and their deliberate attempt to raise awareness of our national identity by depicting the Canadian landscape. Even though many public collections across the country, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Vancouver Art Gallery, display some of Varley’s best-known portraits, these works do not easily fit into the conventional mould of the Group of Seven. Nearly four decades after his death, Varley’s portraits are still not fully acknowledged. The release of this beautifully illustrated bilingual volume coincides with the opening of an unprecedented exhibition of his portraiture.
Becoming a Morauske
My starting point is going back to Gyorgy and Erzebet Moravszky living in Circa in the early 1700s. Those reading this book may still be in this particular Clan if their name is Morauszky, Morawszky, Moravszky, Morauski, or Morauske. This surname is the beginning, but this tree has many branches. Most current families attached to this group are Ondrejka, Ondris, Olson, Sopha, Selk, Banfe, Banfi, Mihaly, and hundreds more. My personal family adds the following families: Boreen, McKnight, Douglas, Mckinze, Wells, Buscher, Schar, Helfer, and Fedrich. One can see how extensive this can become as we begin to include the 50 first cousins and the 100 second cousins from the CORE group. If you are not related, then just enjoy this historical journey from Circa to Austria-Hungary to America—a journey through time.
Sisters of the Holy Spirit and Mary Immaculate, The
For 125 years, the Sisters of the Holy Spirit and Mary Immaculate served the poor and, in particular, people of color. They are the first order of sisters founded in Texas. Their foundress, Margaret Mary Healy Murphy, built the first Catholic African American school and church in San Antonio, the second in the state of Texas. The sisters carried their mission and work beyond the Lone Star State's borders and included most of the South and a few metropolitan areas of the North. They crossed the Rio Grande and had several missions in Mexico and traversed a new continent when they opened a learning center in Zambia. The sisters were primarily known as educators and, in later years, worked in religious education and pastoral ministry. They have also operated orphanages and nursing homes and served in hospitals, homeless shelters, incarceration facilities, and immigration residences. The school they built over 100 years ago, now known as the Healy Murphy Center, serves the community as an alternative high school, and the sisters still teach there.

Visions of British Columbia
Quintessential British Columbia revealed through the eyes of its greatest artists and writers. Visions of British Columbia took as its starting point a major exhibition at the Vancouver Art Galley, opening to coincide with the 2010 Winter Games. The show focused on the work of more than twenty remarkable artists, including the Haida masters Bill Reid and Robert Davidson; Kwakwaka'wakw carver Willie Seaweed; modernist painters Emily Carr and Group of Seven member Frederick Varley; mentors and pioneers Jack Shadbolt and B.C. Binning; abstract painter Gordon Smith; photoconceptualists Ian Wallace and Jeff Wall; Salish artist Susan Point, Haida-Manga artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas and Korean-Canadian Jin-me Yoon. Allied to the art is writing about B.C. from acclaimed authors as diverse as Douglas Coupland, Timothy Taylor, Ethel Wilson, Audrey Thomas and Wayson Choy. Malcolm Lowry's poem Happiness echoes B.C. Binning's colourful seascapes; Daphne Marlatt's reflections on overfishing parallel Susan Point's salmon sculpture. Both text and art speak to the diverse visions of this place, its peoples and its histories. This book was published in partnership with the Vancouver Art Gallery.
International Relations--Still an American Social Science?
Challenges the parochialism and "Americanization" of the field of International Relations.
Reshaping Gender and Class in Rural Spaces
Leach and Pini bring together empirical and theoretical studies that consider the intersections of class, gender and rurality. Each chapter engages with current debates on these concepts to explore them in the context of contemporary social and economic transformations in which global processes that reconstitute gender and class interconnect with and take shape in a particular form of locality - the rural. The book is innovative in that it: - responds to calls for more critical work on the rural 'other' - contributes to scholarship on gender and rurality, but does so through the lens of class. This book places the question of gender, rurality and difference at its centre through its focus on...
When Care Work Goes Global
We know that migration systems link the women who migrate and the households and organizations that employ domestic and care workers, but how do these migration systems work, and more importantly, what are their impacts on the sending as well as the receiving societies? How do sending and receiving societies regulate women’s migration for care work and how do these labour market exchanges take place? How is reproductive labour changed in the receiving society when it is done by women who are subject to multifaceted othering/racializing processes? When Care Work Goes Global seeks to answer these questions.
